The wildargs.obj file is wrapped in an arc file (I think startup.arc) along
with the .asm files for the rest of the startup modules.

Don't forget to "flip" the LFs to CRLFs - tcc will silently accept files with
just LFs, but it doesn't actually compile anything.
 
The problem of the command line too long can be solved (if you have NDmake)
by replacing the tcc call with a call directly to tlink (for which make can
build a response file automagically)
thusly

LINK= tlink
stevie.exe : $(OBJ) $(MACH) $(OTHER)
        $(LINK) /c $(OBJ) $(MACH) $(OTHER) $(LIBS)\c0$(MODEL), $@,, \
                $(LIBS)\c$(MODEL).lib $(LINKFLAGS);

I'm eagerly awaiting ascii.h also.
